A surprise short sequel to 2022 puzzle game about modern art has dropped: Please, Touch the Artwork 2 is out now on Steam, and it's free to boot. Where the first was a puzzle game, this one's a hidden object adventure about a skeleton collecting items for weirdos that live inside paintings.
Please, Touch the Artwork 2 is made by solo developer Thomas Waterzooi, who put it together in six months to celebrate Belgian painter James Ensor, who has been dead 75 years this year. Ensor's paintings and prints were important impressionist works that also influenced the surrealists—perfect fodder for a game to be both oddly engaging and patently beautiful.
